For example Arpil's blocks threasd come off May 15. Then May comes off JUne 15. That gives time to get the info, show off and down load whatervr and still have room for the next month.

We seem to have simplified the offer dates, now lets do hte same for the rest. Just a thought. See you Sunday at chat.

i vote we leave the posts there in case anybody wants to review the discussion if they join later and want to "catch up". if somebody does March 2007 in July 2012, i'd still love to see it posted with all the others.

they won't get in the way as long as we label each topic by month and date. they "old" ones will just fall farther and farther back as new topics come up. (i still find it useful to search through waaaaaaay old topics and posts when i need to revisit something or see if we've already talked about a subject i have a questions about.)

I think they should stay up for more then one month No everybody can get to the right away

Perhaps, we could edit the headings of the March and April blocks to include the name of the block that was posted that month. In the future the block names could be included as well as the month it was posted. That way there would be a second method of finding what one is looking for. I can forsee wanting to revisit that frolic block and I probably will not remember the date we made it but the name is possible. :D

Just my two cents worth... and that's about all it's worth too!

Happy about the two blocks a month. I'm with Norah. The more the better! Gotta keep those sewing machines working or they'll freeze up! :lol:

what ever works for the majority is fine, I am always looking for simple quick way to find and do stuff. And because I am not a c-geek I am some times overwhelmed by what is avable and then figuering out how to get there.

Quiltnurse, there's "only" 13 pages of posts here to date. How could things get lost! :lol: I can get lost in my sewing room!!!
I know what you're talking about. Right now the April BOM post is was down the list and getting lost in all the other topics. I wish the current BOM could be locked at the top of the topic list with the BOM rules. When the new one comes up they could 'release' the old one to go floating whereever and lock the new one in.
OR here's an idea... Drum roll please......

Could there be one large folder at the top that ALL the BOMs could reside in after their month is done?

Oh, I need more coffee. It's way too early for thinking!!! :lol:

quiltnurse 04-14-2007 07:09 AM

exactly what I was looking for. then we can find it, others can look if they want and still there is room for .......

patricej 04-14-2007 07:16 AM

this sounds like a job for Super-K (Admin). maybe if we ask reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel nice, he'll start the BOM as a new category, like "Main" is, under the primary Forum Index.

would that be along the lines you were thinking?

Yvonne 04-14-2007 07:18 AM

I hadn't thought of it quite like that but that would be perfect. We could even leave the pictures in there too, mayhaps!?!?!!!!

GREAT thinking, Patrice! :lol:

ceannastahr 04-14-2007 07:41 AM

Leave it to Patrice shes always thinking She seem to no what we're thinking too but puts it into words better
